That's it! I removed --enable-wide-chars and --enable-luit (enabling luit enables wide chars) and the resulting xterm now shows proper characters in the tek pane.

I wonder if it's endianness coupled with multi-byte characters...

John mentioned in the initial email that this didn't occur on his machine (ppc) with the Macports xterm. This xterm is compiled with default options which disables unicode and multi-byte character support.

- The only thing that counts is *on which architecture your xterm
executable is running*.

If it runs on intel (Leopard), the characters in the Tek window are OK,
if it runs on ppc (Leopard or Tiger), you get the empty squares. If it
runs on Linux (intel), the characters are OK, too.


Weird.

An endianness problem, then. I see the same bug with an X.Org server
running on FreeBSD (intel) and xterm from XFree running on Solaris 8
(sparc). It works fine with the xterm that comes bundled with the OS.
